some more makes

 a few more bits to show you in today's post, first of which are some 2 - 5 - 7 - 10 favour boxes, done in a butterfly theme.. the original tutorial you can find HERE.



these boxes are really easy to put together and lend themselves to decorating for all seasons, so I am sure I will be making more of them.. 
here are some closeup photos, and I used the nestabilities beyond the edge technique on them too..



 

next is a wedding card made with last year's Lily of the Valley Wedding / Occasions release..
you can find the stamp here, and the punch used is an EK success one. the partial cuttlebug embossing was done with a hallmark / country companions embossing folder I think it was (a recent release from last few months)


here are some closeups to show the embossing


and the Marianne Creatables leaf / branch die.


 my last one to share is a baby card made with a Funky Kits' Sugar Nellie Stamp called Pringle.. so cute for children's birthdays or baby birthdays even...

 

the lettering on this one is cut out using a Quickutz alphabet called moxie - the first alphabet dies I ever bought about 5 yrs ago!! that seems like ages now (!!)


and another closeup to show the nestabilites beyond the edge.
